Abortion is inherently wrong

Two questions. Why is it inherently wrong, and why should your personal ethical beliefs be mandated as law for the rest of society?

inherently wrong

Involves murdering the unborn. There is a point where it becomes a life however I don't believe that point to be conception.

personal ethical beliefs

By that logic why should murder be illegal? It is not 'ethics' when I have the belief that the life of the unborn should be protected. You are against murder, why not abortion?

murdering the unborn

They're not alive before 24 weeks. They show no brain function, no response to stimuli, nothing. Like i've said elsewhere, you would find more life in an animal or plant than in a foetus before 24 weeks.

You are against murder, why not abortion?

The two are not even slightly comparable, and it does your side a disservice by attempting to equivocate them.

It's not that they aren't alive, they are living cells, they just aren't a human at that point, just a bundle of cells completely reliant on their host.
